Unknown persons broke open the window of a house in Ragavendra Nagar, Reddiarpalayam and decamped with silver articles and Rs. 50,000 in cash.
Police sources said Rajendran of Reddiarpalayam, who was running a hardware unit at Cuddalore, resided along with his family in Ragavendra Nagar.
The family which was asleep when the burglary took place woke up to a shock when they saw the grille window of pooja room broken open.
Rajendran said that silver articles weighing a kilo and cash Rs. .50,000 kept in the bureau had gone missing. He alleged that somebody who closely monitored his movement could have committed the theft.

Miscreants also showed similar handiwork in the house of Rajendran’s neighbour Alagesan.
Adopting the same modus operandi, the miscreants entered the house removing the grille of a window and broke open an almirah.
Finding no money in it, the intruders took away Rs.300 kept inside the Bible on a table.
Reddiarpalayam registered the case and conducted investigation.
Fingerprints were lifted and a sniffer dog was deployed in the investigation.
